We made the journey out to Kamloops earlier this year go go see what the crew at SunPeaks resort have been up to. Well the answer…..Lots. These guys have been making new trails, improving features and generally keeping the hill rad for all riders. An added bonus to the day was it was $2 lift ticket day.

Sun Peaks offers all varietys of riding, but the real highlights of the hill are the super high speed flow lines. Myself(Paul Kerfoot) Mike Terrace and Nate Cowie took some shots of a couple of the trails to give you a taste of the fun.

Route 66( mega bermy fun) from the chair.

The main trail we shot was their Main Jump trail called Steam Shovel. Steam shovel has a bunch of different features other then just yourstandard dirt jumps. It flows quite nicely if you’re not on the brakes and the tranny’s line up when you hit them with some speed.

This is a super fun high speed wall ride berm thing. It gets you pretty horizontal.(paul Kerfoot).

All in all Steam Shovel and Sun Peaks will get your blood flowing and is definitely worth the trip to check out. My favorite run at Sun Peaks is Gummy bear (a super fast flowey fun single track) to Arm pump(Super fast flowey) to Home run(time to go even faster).

We were hoping to have been able to session their Slope style park, which, in the past has had some super well shaped big booters. but unfortunately wasn’t open this past year. Maybe next year.

I recommend every one gets out to Sun Peaks to get their shred on.

We also came across a sweet new back road way to cut some time down on your trip if you are coming from the east. There is a turn off at Chase, BC, that will cross the river onto kamloops-shuswap rd. follow this until you meet Mcgillvery Lake rd. this will give you some free camping options as well as cut your trip time down at least a half hour. you will enter into the village via the back way.
